Got to play with one today for a few hours, with, as it happens, a professional model to hand. But, please note, she may be a professional, but I am not.
Regarding performance, AF was not the most silent, but didn\'t sound untoward either. Certainly no hint of a metal-on-metal grind. MFD was longer than I\'d have liked. Quite a bit of CA, including at f:2.0, whichdoes clean up, but, for that price, I would have liked it not to be there.
Regarding IQ: obviously vast amounts of detail, but not in-your-face-contrasty a la Zeiss. DNA from the very painterly G series is clearly there. Very evident 3-dimensionality, and lovely rendering if you like it milder and more poetic rather than scalpel-cold.
Still unsure whether to buy ot not. Alernativeis Zeiss 135 APO on adapter.
More later.
